Advantages: A novelty item, ideal to entertain my son, and any other male in the house! Disadvantages: Only a cheap and cheerful item, not really made to last.
My sisters boyfriend decided this christmas to buy the entire of my family a gift each, this being due to the fact he has reached and surpassed the two year mark of "courting" my younger sister, this in my families book makes him officilaly part of the family!
Now with the older generation, (myself included), we are reasonably easy to buy for, chocolate and booze being at the top of our wish lists. There are two certain people ... ...they have discernable tastes, but more the fact they receive so much stuff on Christmas morning that getting a present that hasn’t already been bagged by another relation is very bloody difficult. Of whom do I speak…. Well my two children of course!

Now with the older generation, (myself included), we are reasonably easy to buy for, chocolate and booze being at the top of our wish lists. There are two certain people who are not so easy to buy for, not that they have discernable tastes, but more the fact they receive so much stuff on Christmas morning that getting a present that hasn’t already been bagged by another relation is very bloody difficult.

The gift that he finally decided on for my son is - “Drinking glasses, by Tobar”
These in themselves are pretty ingenious idea, combing two of my sons favourite things, straws and drinking through them!
The packaging is very basic. There is the “straw glasses”, and two clear lengths of tubing, one shorter than the other. These are all vacuum packed in plastic and secured against a cardboard sheet with a cartoon picture of a man using the glasses.
To remove you simply tear the plastic away from the cardboard and remove the glasses and tubing. Before use it is always advisable to wash all the components in hot soapy water rinsing well before use.
The set up again is very simple. You attach the shorter tube to one side of the glasses, this will be the mouth piece. The longer piece is attached to the other side and this will be the part that goes into the drink. The most advisable thing to do before putting this part into your drink is to try and stretch this out a little before use, otherwise you will find it tries to curl back up again making a bit of mess in the process!
Then you simply drink! My son tends to drink blackcurrant pop, (what with him only being three years old!), this looks very effective being sucked through the clear glasses.
These are available direct from the companies website, for more information on this and the other hundreds of novelty products available visit - www.tobar.co.uk
These particular glasses retail at £2.99, to be honest if they had cost anymore I would have felt it was a rip off, this price reflects the item.
This is a lovely novelty product that will keep my son entertained for months to come!
